Abstract

The ambiphilic reactivity of hydrazones enables not only self-condensation but also cross-condensation, affording multisubstituted pyrazoles in high yields, with a broad substrate scope. This convenient Brønsted acid-mediated reaction proceeds under mild conditions via a β-protonation/nucleophilic addition/cyclization/aromatization sequence.
